Restore telemetry functionality using logging instead of network reporting #61766
Description
Enhancement
In version 7.5, we removed the telemetry-related code by #51202. It's due to concerns that network transmission of usage data might cause confusion or misunderstanding for users. This was a proactive decision to prioritize user trust and transparency.
However, we still have a legitimate need to analyze feature usage in our cloud environment for the purposes of improving product quality and user experience. Therefore, we propose to restore the telemetry functionality, with the following important changes:
No network reporting: Telemetry data will no longer be transmitted over the public network.
Logging-based only: Usage data will be recorded locally via logs.
Cloud default: The telemetry feature will be enabled by default in cloud deployments. Users will be able to manually disable telemetry logging if they choose to.
